Lancio del sito da Maria Voce in un collegamento video dalla Spagna, 22 gennaio 2011.<\/p><\/div>\n

Since her departure for heaven on the 14th<\/sup> of March 2008, Chiara Lubich has been very close to us. Chiara was a great communicator. As soon as she discovered that \u201cGod loves us immensely\u201d, she wanted to tell everyone about it, using the means available to her in those times. The hundreds of letters she wrote testify to this. She wholeheartedly embraced all means of communication and new technologies and saw them as an opportunity to spread her ideals of a united world. This is obvious in her talk \u201cMass Media: a Vocation for a United World\u201d published especially for the opening of this new website.<\/p>\n

We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to Chiara. This new international website of the Focolare Movement is dedicated to her.<\/p>\n

We have been working on the development of this new website for over a year with the help of many collaborators: the first companions of Chiara Lubich, the editorial staff which is composed of representatives of the various branches and realities of the Focolare Movement, our technical personnel and graphic designers, our translators, the zone delegates around the world and regional counsellors. It has been a great team effort and we thank each one for making it all possible.<\/p>\n

However, the fact we are online doesn’t mean that the website is complete. On the contrary, it will be a constant \u201cwork in progress\u201d. It will keep evolving with your suggestions and input. The aim is to present the life of the Focolare Movement in its unity and variety.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spirituality: <\/strong><\/span> the Focolare \u201cWord of Life\u201d is one of the most popular features of the current\u00a0 site. The new site will continue to give access to relevant and enriching experiences with increased use of multimedia, and will now be extended to the children and youth versions.<\/p>\n

Headlines: <\/strong><\/span>a top banner will highlight current news. Colour coded photo framess\u00a0 will indicate the theme of reference.<\/p>\n

The 22nd of January is not a day like any other. It was on this same day, in 1920, that Chiara Lubich was born.
